OC man charged with homeless beating death

SANTA ANA, Calif. 
An Orange County has been charged with beating to death a homeless man with a 25-pound chunk of concrete.

Thirty-three-year-old Jorge Lopez of Santa Ana was charged Wednesday with murder. He remains jailed without bail and faces up to 26 years to life in prison if convicted.

Prosecutors say 36-year-old Marcos Rojo Nieto was drinking in a homeless encampment on Saturday when Lopez walked up and, without provocation, knocked the man down, kicked him and smashed him in the face and chest with a cinder block.

Authorities say Lopez fled but was arrested on Monday at a relative's home, where he'd been living.
